I am building an application using ecos on an ARM9 processor using the FreeBSD stack. The default configuration for the stack allocates 256k + (max-sockets * 1024). It then breaks it up into 1/2 for mbufs, 1/4 for general heap, and 1/4 for clusters.
My question is how do I determine how much memory I should allocate for my application? Is there some formula for determining how much to allocate based on number of sockets, max packet size, network throughput, etc? My application is fairly simple and maintains TCP sockets with up to 4 hosts. I am trying to minimize the amount of network memory I need to hopefully under 128k but I have no way of verifying analytically if this will work or not. Any suggestions??
